...wave was just one of the ways the audience tried to work off its nervous energy. They danced, they chanted. As disco music played, those seated near the curtained hallway to the back and left of the stage gasped when an elegant black hand briefly parted the curtain. An older black woman in an Obama t-shirt, bright kerchief and big glasses had a view just inside the sanctum; she hopped to her feet and waved her hands like she had just seen Elvis. The hand outside the curtain waved and pointed to her with an ironic, hep-cat flick...
...what do we do with batteries when we throw them out?” my roommate asks about once a month, sounding like a worn-out mother. The message: Environmental disasters can strike at any moment. They’re as near as the Duracell sitting in the hallway waste bin. Certain regular acts have now taken on a criminal thrill.

(She is loath to call it a "policy," and points out that "you won't find anything...
...girls betray just enough tongue-in-cheek sensibility, however, that we’re willing to stomach some lonesome bed-writhing. The story is simple and possibly symbolic (more on that later). Sara goes on a rescue mission after she spies a mysterious black object in a shadowy apartment hallway. Meanwhile, Tegan’s therapy session goes very strangely indeed, as her bored therapist dons a ski mask for one brief shot and eventually keels over on to the floor. As Sara joins Tegan from the fire escape and the two dash out of the room, the fast-paced...
